Go Forth and try Kilomathon

ENTRIES are still being accepted for a charity race which will take competitors across the Forth Road Bridge.

The first Kilomathon Scotland, on October 3, is one of a series of three metric marathons - run over 26 kilometres rather than miles - being staged across Britain by the organisers of the Edinburgh Marathon. Thousands have already signed up to take part in the inaugural staging of the event, with entries accepted until October 1.

Race director Neil Kilgour said: "We are very excited about this new addition to the Scottish running scene."
